TNUSRB denies allegations, says recommendations made by the officer 'duly considered'
THE Office of the Director General of Police (DGP) and Head of the Police Force (HOPF) on Monday said that, based on the investigation conducted so far, there was "no wilful act of arson" or "planned threat to the life" of Additional DGP Kalpana Nayak in the fire incident that gutted her chamber on July 28, 2024. At the time of the incident, she was serving as the ADGP in Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board (TNUSRB).
